■NOTE ON USE
1. Please use this IC within the stated maximum ratings. Operation beyond these limits may cause degrading or permanent
damage to the device.
2. In order to stabilize the IC's operations, please ensure that V_IN pin's input frequency's rise and fall times are more than
several μs / V.
3. With a resistor connected between the V_IN pin and the power supply V_DD some errors may be observed from the input
voltage at the detect and release voltage. Those errors are not constant because of the fluctuation of the supply current.
4. When a resistor is connected between the V_IN pin and the power supply V_DD, oscillation may occur as a result of through
current and voltage drop at the R_IN at the time of voltage release. (refer to the Oscillation Description (1) below ) Especially
in the CMOS output configurations, oscillation may occur regardless of detect/release operation if load current (I_OUT)
exists. (refer to the Oscillation Description (2) below)
5. Please use N-ch open drains configuration, when a resistor R_IN is connected between the V_IN pin and the power supply
V_DD power source. In such cases, please ensure that R_IN is less than 10kΩ and that C is more than 0.1μF.

● Oscillation Description
(1) Oscillation as a result of through current
Since the XC6120 series are CMOS ICs, transient through current will flow when the IC's internal circuit switching operates
regardless of output configuration. Consequently, oscillation is liable to occur as a result of the similar operations as in (1)
above. This oscillation does not occur during the detect operation.
(2) Output current oscillation with the CMOS output configuration
As shown in figure 2, when the voltage applied at the power supply (V_DD) rises from below detect voltage to above release
voltage, the IC commence release operations and the internal P-ch driver transistor will be on. The output current (I_OUT) flows
the input resistor (R_IN) via the P-ch driver transistor. Because of the input resistor (R_IN) and the output current (I_OUT), an input pin
voltage drops R_IN x I_OUT. If the voltage drop level is larger than the IC’s hysteresis width (V_HYS), the input pin voltage will falls
below the V_DF and detect operations will commerce so that the internal P-ch driver transistor will be off. The voltage drop will
stop because the output current (I_OUT) which was flowing the P-ch driver transistor will run down. The input pin voltage will
become the same voltage level as the input voltage (V_IN). For this, the input pin voltage will rise above the release voltage (V_DR),
therefore, the release operations will begin over again. Oscillation may occur with this repetition. Further, this condition will
also appear via means of a similar mechanism during detect operations.
